Genesis 43:19-25

19So they came near to Joseph’s house steward, and spoke to him at the entrance of the house, 20and said, “Oh, my lord, we indeed came down the first time to buy food, 21and it came about when we came to the lodging place, that we opened our sacks, and behold, 1each man’s money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in 2full. So 3we have brought it back in our hand. 22We have also brought down other money in our hand to buy food; we do not know who put our money in our sacks.” 23He said, “4Be at ease, do not be afraid. 5Your God and the God of your father has given you treasure in your sacks; 6I had your money.” Then 7he brought Simeon out to them. 24Then the man brought the men into Joseph’s house and 8gave them water, and they 9washed their feet; and he gave their donkeys fodder. 25So they prepared 10the present 11for Joseph’s coming at noon; for they had heard that they were to eat 12a meal there.
